Confiuration of the TN temperature sensors
All of ifm's process sensors, including the TN temperature sensors, use similar terminology for programming. We highlight the features used most often here. Refer to the Operating Instructions manual found under the "Downloads" tab at the product datasheet page for more details on these and other features.
Switching outputs
- Hno -- hysteresis normally open: Output turns on when the set point (SP) is reached and stays on until the temperature drops below the reset point (rP)
- Hnc -- hysteresis normally closed: Output turns off when the set point (SP) is reached and stays off until the temperature drops below the reset point (rP)
- Fno -- window normally open: Output turns on when temperature is between the high limit (FH or SP) and low limit (FL or rP)
- Fnc -- window normally closed: Output turns off when temperature is between the high limit (FH or SP) and low limit (FL or rP)
Analog outputs
- ASP -- analog start point: The temperature where the analog signal equals 4 mA
- AEP -- analog end point: The temperature where the analog signal equals 20 mA
- MAW -- initial value of the non-scaled measuring range
- MEW -- final value of the non-scaled measuring range
The chart shows how the analog signal and display information changes when the temperature is above / below the scaled or non-scaled measuring ranges. This feature is useful in for your process control and troubleshooting issues.
Display and indications
The TN temperature sensor has a 4-digit LED display to show current process temperature. Other display indications:
- Indication of switching status of output 1
- Unit of measure of the various process values
- Indication of switching status of output 2
- 4-digit LED display of process values, parameters and parameter values
- Up/down arrow buttons to change parameter values
- Enter button to select parameter and confirm the setting
General use of pushbuttons
| 1 | Press Enter (E) once to enter programming mode. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Press Up or Down arrow (U/D) to view parameters or additional menus. |
| 3 | To change setting, press Enter (E) and then Up or Down arrow (U/D) and hold until the progress bar competes. Then press Up or Down arrow (U/D) to toggle through options. |
| 4 | When desired value is reached, press Enter (E) to confirm the setting. |
Scale the analog signal (output 2 for TN2xxx variants only)
| 1 | Press E to enter programming mode. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Press D until "ASP2" is displayed. Press E to confirm. |
| 3 | Press U/D to enter the value representing the analog start point (4 mA). Press E to confirm setting. |
| 4 | Press D until "AEP2" is displayed. Press E to confirm. |
| 5 | Press U/D to enter the value representing the analog end point (20 mA). Press E to confirm setting. |
Note that the minimum distance between ASP and AEP is 5 °C / 9 °F.
Setup with moneo | configure
moneo | configure is a user-friendly software package that enables easy programming and visualization of all ifm IO-Link enabled sensors (V1.0 and V1.1) as well as other manufacturers' IO-Link enabled sensors (V1.1). The software can be downloaded here: moneo | configure.
Setup with moneo | blue
moneo | blue is an app that runs on your Apple or Android smart phones and provides access to all parameters, process values and diagnostics from all sensors connected to an IO-Link master. The Bluetooth™ adapter, EIO330, connects to one port of the IO-Link master and the app can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple App Store or from Google play.
